Can You Tell When Your Fears Are Disguised as False Optimism?

You're not alone. How many of us openly admit to our deepest fears? And I don’t mean fear of not looking both ways when crossing against the red. I mean fear of not admitting we’re somehow on a sickening treadmill to nowhere. That our present situation – regardless of what we’re making, our standard of living, our comfortable surroundings – has left us more than a little unhappy, more than unsatisfied. Who stole our childhood dreams? Where are those novels we were going to write? Those landscapes we were going to paint? Those hits we were going to record? What happened … Read More

Why partner with a Travel & Leisure opportunity in a lousy ecomomy?

Because it just might be the best financial & lifestyle move you could make, that's why. When you start kicking the tires on an MLM opportunity, what are the first things you look for?

Everyone has a Secret Self. How’s yours?

Who do you talk to when you talk to yourself? If you answered, “No one in particular,” then you may be clueless about one of the most powerful beings in your life: your Self. No, I’m not being cute. Everyone has a secret Self: an invisible “something” within that is aware of our every thought and emotion. On a more practical level, our Self can protect us, help us succeed at any task we really believe in – or bring us down to defeat just when our goals seem within our grasp. Sound weird? And besides, what the heck does all this Self-talk have to do with Network … Read More

Get to the Point!

G. Verdi, man of long melodies and short temper.

Perhaps you’ve heard the story of the famous Italian opera composer, Giuseppe Verdi? Arguably the greatest opera composer of the 19th Century. Seems he got dragged to a fancy bash in Milano thrown by his publisher, Ricordi. When strangers were introducing themselves and asking this incomparable genius who he was, Verdi snapped, “A millionaire!” Ricordi was startled by Verdi’s answer Ricordi took the famous man aside and asked Verdi why he didn’t just say he was a composer? “If I do,” Verdi replied, “these boobs will ask what I wrote. If they haven’t heard it, they’ll … Read More

“I sat right down and wrote myself a letter…”

One of the most frequent tips top Network Marketing entrepreneurs hand out for accomplishing goals is this oldie but goodie: (1) Before you end the day, take a legal-size pad and write out everything you didn’t accomplish today, plus what you want to accomplish tomorrow. (2) As you accomplish each item, check it off. (3) At the end of the day, go back and repeat #1. It’s amazing how much this simple “yellow pad” technique keeps you focused and on course. So one day I decided to kick it up a notch. Remember that great 1935 Fats Waller hit, I’m gonna sit right down … Read More
